Thirty Jayhawker Speedsters Line Up Tonight in Gym Against Normals
BRIGHT SEASON FOR K. U
The 1916 K. U. track season will be officially started tonight at 7:30 in Robinson Gymnasium when the Jaya-hawk tracer speedsters line up with the Kansas Normals from Emporia, in the initial meet of the year.
With the best early season prospects in recent years, Kansas expect to make a clean sweep tonight. Crimson and Blue athletes are expected to take firsts in every event on the program with the possible exception of a conservative estimate of the school's points to Kansas and the remaining thirty of the possible eighty to the Teacher athletes.
At least six new K. U. athletics will make their debut tonight and if this sextette does half as well as they have in practice, the crowd will have little chance to kick. In the hurdles two of the newcomers, Winn and Tiffany, will be seen along with the veteran Elliott. In the awkward hawker entries in the sprints will be Davidson and Hilton, also recruits. Both men are expected to do big things before the season ends. Hilton is a brother of Kirk Hilton, Varsity spinner and K man for the past three seasons, while "Davy" comes from St. Louis where his suit has its stamp on so many other good men in K. U. athletics.
SIX NEW MEN ON DECK
Although of no value from a championship standpoint, tonight's meet will be an important one to Coach Hamilton's team for it will give William Patterson what the men who have been showing so well in practice, can do in actual competition. Not being a Conference affair, the number of entries will not be restricted to the usual sixteen in an indoor dual meet and Hamilton expects to give at least thirty matches a chance to show their ability.
In the quarter and relay will appear "Humpy" Campbell, former Topeka high school star, whose time has been little behind that of Rodley's. "Dick" Treweks will handle the high jump with Miller, and the last of the six, Evan Groone, will race with Graft, Statiele, and Howland in the two mile.

PRACTICE ON DANCES FOR ALL-UNIVERSITY PART
The first practice of the Minuet, one of the special features of the All-University Colonial Party, will be held in Robinson Gymnasium, in charge of Dr. Alice Goetz. Though the minuet was given last year in the Colonial Party, the repetition will be repeated with variations which will be introduced.
Besides the Minuet, an hour's program will be given by the School of Fine Arts at the party, which is scheduled for the 26th of this month in Robinson Gymnasium. The reception will follow this part of the program, which will be concluded by the social dancing.
The floor manager of the evening is Chancey Hunter. He is to be assisted by Arthur Nigg and Forest Miller. The committee for this party will be appointed and published at a later date.

TEACHERS TO ENROLL IN
EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Students who desire to enter in upon the profession of teaching will be instructed in the use of the university bureau for that purpose at a meeting to be held in the Snow Hall lecture room at 4:30 Friday. At that time the enrollment in the employment bureau will begin.
The service of this bureau is free Glasco, and E. S. Price. seniors, who will this year take their bachelor degrees in the School of Education. This meeting is an annual institution for the benefit of those who are to receive their teacher's certificate.
CO-EDS ARRANGE GAMES
Freshman and Sophomore Women Announce Schedule for Basketball Contests
The women's basketball schedule for freshman and sophomore teams has been definitely arranged, and several games are to be played this month. Games with the Polytechnic Institution at Kansas City, the Lawrence high school, and the preliminary and final games between freshman and sophomore teams have been scheduled.
Tuesday evening at 7:15, the freshman team will cross swords with the Lawrence high school girls in the Manual Training Gymnasium at the campus. "All women are cordially invited to attend this game," said Miss Hazel Pratt. "The girls, who have been practicing for the last three months, are in good shape and I look for a good team." Lawrence high school Tuesday evening.
The freshmen women have been faithful followers of the cause. While most of the students are laughing and chatting in their different clubs, the usual noon silence in the Robinson Gym has been broken by shrill whistles, the tramping of many feet, and an occasional thump of a basketball. For the past several weeks, the noon hour has been the only time when the freshmen team could all mediate and not find the floor covered with cobwebs, or the terrific formation of track warfare, they have been eating their lunches in the gym and devoting this hour to basketball practice.
The first intercollegiate basketball game ever played by University women is scheduled for February, the day of the women's team meeting when the sophomore team meets the Kansas City Polytechnic women. An admission of ten cents will be charged, which will go to make up the cost of the Women's Athletic Association.
The preliminary games between the four teams of freshmen and sophomores are scheduled for Saturday, February the 19th, at 2 o'clock in the Robinson Gymnasium. The final will be on Saturday the 23rd, just preceding the banquet to be given at this time by the Women's Athletic Association.
NUMBER OF NEW STUDENTS
PASSES HUNDRED MARI
New registrations this semester totaled 115, according to the latest figures from Registrar G. O. Foster, and total up to 2921 for this year.
"The new registrations th' semester have not been as numerous as we had expected," Mr. Foster said this morning.
Of the new registrations, the college leads in number with seventy. Next in order are the engineers with seventeen, the graduate school and the fine arts with ten each. Seven new pharmacies and a solitary new registration in the school of medi- student to the school students transferred from one school to another at the close of last semester.
No accurate count has been made of the new students as to classes, because many of them offered advanced credit from other institutions which was allowed provisionally, pending investigation. This makes many uncertain as to what class they really belong in.

ETCHINGS ON EXHIBITION TALK TO HELEN KELLER
Works of Famous Artists May be Seen in Ad. Building
Nearly two hundred etchings are on exhibition in Room 304 Administration now and will be until Saturday February 12. This exhibit will be open every day except Sunday from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning and-from 1:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon, free to everyone.
Many of the etchings are by such artists as John W. Cotton, London, Sears Gallagher, Otto J. Schneider and Bertha E. Jaques, and all are for sale at the price marked on each picture.
A pamphlet "Concerning Etchings" by Bertha E. Jaques, giving a complete, concise description of how etchings, dry-points, and mezzotints are made will be procurable for a small consideration. The process of producing an etching is as follows:
A polished copper plate is first covered with a thin coat of wax, which is then blackened by the smoke of a wax taper. The artist draws his design with a steel needle cutting lines through the wax covering. The plate is then sub-embedded in some acid which will attack and eat the copper wherever it has been laid bare by the artist's needle. The longer the acid acts the wider and deeper the lines become, the more ink they will hold and the blacker they will show when printed. Hence, when the lines that are to show in the picture as the edge of an engraving are enough, the plate is removed from the acid and these are filled up with varnish which the acid will not touch. The plate is again bitter; additional lines are again 'stopped out'; and the process is repeated until there are several sets of lines broken into depths. After this, the wax is removed, the plate is cleaned, and it is printed in the same manner as any copper engraving.
The staff of the 1916 Jayhawker may be writing one of the best annuals ever published at K. U., but there is a rumor being spread abroad that it doesn't practice what it preaches.
RUMOR LEAKS OUT ON
THE JAYHAWKER STAFF
For some months the business manager of the book, one Ross Busenbark by name, has been urging upon the student body the great necessity of their having pictures for the book taken at once. Seniori, Juniors, sophmores and all organizations have been repeatedly asked to the persistent photographers. Owing to the persistence which the manager kept after the matter, nearly all Jayhawker pictures have been taken.
However, according to E. M.
Johnson, there will be no more delay.
The members of the staff will step
in at Squires' studio Wednesday
noon.
And then the book can go to press
—maybe?
The Jayhawker board hasn't been photographed yet!
Meaning thusly:
But hist! Here's a secret:

Journalists Listen to Woman Who Is Deaf
The advanced students in Journalism who reported the Southeast Kansas Teachers' association at Coffeyville last Thursday and Friday, reaped something more than practice they talked with Miss Helen Keller.
Miss Keller took the regular four-year course at Radliffe college and received her degree. Mrs. Mary, who had taught her from early childhood, sat by her side during lectures and translated them into language. She also read the reference books into Miss Keller's hand.
During examinations, Miss Keller worked alone. A blind teacher was always sent for by the Radcliffe schoolian in front of her into the raised-point system.
liked economics and philosophy best." Keller said. "Do you like them?"
The visitors did.
"I think they fit one for life. No education is true education unless it teaches men that happiness is rooted in the happiness of all. I don't like mathematics," she added, "I was taught to be cheerful and she laughed at her short-coming. One of the visitors confessed having taken the subject.
"You have my sympathy;" said Miss Keller.
The reporters told her that quizzes had just been held.
"I hope they went off well, and I can sympathize with you again."
Miss Keller expressed great fondness for Dickens and for DeMorgan, but she was unable to name the novel which inspired her. She likes Tolstoy for his views.
Miss Keller talked directly to her visitors. Her secretary spelled the questions into her hand and she repeated them aloud. Miss Keller, it must be remembered, has never heard the sounds of the words she speaks. Her accent is necessarily understood; she can easily be understood. But it has a strong, guttural tendency, but it has no hard to understand than that of a foreigner who talks brokenly. She says that it does not tire her in the least to talk although she appears to be talking with great effort.

NEW EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
TO AID NEEDY STUDENTS
An employment bureau is to be established by the department of education within the University in order to assist teachers recently graduated from the University to teach internationally trained themselves and to aid undergraduate to choose fields of work in which there is the greatest demand. The new department is an outgrowth of the bureau of appointments and the department of education of the University, which have in the past acted as a medium between schools of the state and teachers.
By this new plan a student will file an application stating the sort of position that he desires. He will be given expert advice concerning the courses best adapted to this sort of work and from time to time a course may be offered to employees available for various kinds of employment will be sent out to employers of the state. Another part of the new bureau's activities will be the providing, as far as possible, of summer work for students who are making their way through school, learning in the city or for work is more or less experimental, positions that will provide experience in their lines.
Prof. W. H. Johnson, director of the university's bureau of appointments, will have charge of the new bureau.
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR
ACTS AS INTERPRETER
Prof. A. L. Owen, of the department of Romance Languages was unable to meet his classes yesterday because he was summoned by the district court to serve as interpreter in the trial of Cliff Jordan, a negro accused of the murder of Feliciano Guitiertez, a Mexican track laborer.
The work of interpreting is a difficult one, because the creed of the Mexicans is that if the injured person gets well, he can settle the difficulty of hearing while he is alone or other person is still inside of the game. The Mexicans also have a deep distrust of the courts and almost invariably refuse to talk whenever they are questioned about their case. They exact processes of the court. Prof. C. J. Winter is teaching the classes of Professor Owen while he is away.

New Arrivals Swell Attendance on Second Day To Equal of Last Year's Total
WILL STAY WHOLE WEEK
Majority Plan to Attend Complete Course of Lectures
Merchants coming in today to attend the Merchants' Short Course swelled the already large enrollment almost to the mark of the total enrollment last year. Merchants came yesterday from Missouri and Oklahoma, and presentatives from towns in Nebraska and Iowa attended at Mr. Hamilton's office at 117 Presser. Registered on the list are at least one lawyer, a public accountant and a number of travelling salesmen. Outside of Lawrence, which will be represented on the lists by more than twenty-five merchants, Salina seems have sent the most representatives. Elaine has already registered from there, and there are a number more expected today and tomorrow.
WILL STAY WHOLE WEEK
A larger percentage of the merchants than usual have signified their intentions of staying in Lawrence throughout the entire course. It has been the case often, especially with those merchants who live in the vicinity of Lawrence, to come down for a day or two or even for one lecture, and to return without staying and mixing with the other merchants and gathering some of their ideas at the dawn and in the discussions which follow even during this course this year will last two days longer than in previous years, more merchants are planning to attend all the sessions than last year.
A number of the towns have sent the secretaries of the Commercial Clubs so that all the merchants in their home towns may participate in the ideas shared by those who attend Meetings for the discussions of the sessions and the information of otherwise scattered bits of information will follow the trips of the Commercial Club secretaries to the Short Course.
HAMILTON IS BUSY
F. R. Hamilton, of the extension division who has charge of all the meetings, is the busy man of the Hill. He attends every session and introductory meetings and shares of the guests, and stands are sponsible for all the work in the office. Outside of all that, and working to see that all the visitors and the speakers are cared for and on deck at the proper time, and seeing that the speaker starts off in the right manner, Mr. Hamilton has nothing to do.
